Chapter 1: Who is the special guest on this episode of 2 Bears, 1 Cave?
Welcome to another episode of Two Bears, One Cave. Sad, sad news about my regular co-host. He had an arm amputated. And so while he's recovering, we have the king of ring sting sitting in for him. It's the great Sean Evans, everybody. Hey, thanks so much for having me. Thank you. I hope Bert gets a cool prosthetic.
I do. I'd like to see something. Something titanium.
Yeah. It's going to add a whole new dynamic to his live show. Thanks for being here. You're in town because South by Southwest. Are you going to speak?
Yeah, it's a totally full schedule. It's been a really busy year, but yeah, just an itinerary that's packed for the next couple days. God, that sounds awful. They'll shove me into a room, take a bunch of pictures, do this interview, sit on this panel, do a bunch of stuff. You know, I'm leaning into this year, so... You know, I was at the Oscars last weekend.
We did Sundance the weekend before that. The whole calendar has filled up, and I'm just kind of leaning into it right now.
Every time I arrive somewhere and they go, this is your calendar, my objective is I go, how can we reduce this? That's what I lead with. How can we do less instead of what you've proposed?
I think that's something that comes with growth. But right now, this is my first time kind of going through all of this.
Oh, okay. This is the fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm plinko-balling through it, and then I'll review it afterwards and figure out what we need to do.

Chapter 2: How did Hot Ones become a cultural phenomenon?
Well, you've been, I mean, everybody who knows from watching anything on YouTube, everybody knows Hot Ones. And the trajectory of this thing is incredible. You're like the, that's the prototype. That's the dream for people is they go, I have an idea. I'd like to do this, you know, this bit kind of online and maybe it'll turn into something. And then the A++ example is Hot Ones.
That's got to feel pretty amazing.
Yeah, it does. I never take for granted this unique magic carpet ride that I've been on. And I'll also say that a lot of it came by accident. We had this idea, but I don't think we realized the degree to which hot sauce is a disruptive element.
All the hours spent really committing to the interview, the way that it would kind of make this what's it like to have a beer with this person show that people have been trying to invent for a really long time.
Everybody's doing knockoffs of it.
Right. Yeah, I think. Yeah, people. And sometimes I kind of miss even just this, like this is fine. You know, you don't have to add some sort of high concept to it. I remember watching maybe it was before a Monday night football game and it was Sims doing an interview with someone with Patrick Mahomes and they're doing this interview and then they mixed into it like playing catch with each other.
And I remember that being just a distracting element, but it comes from a place of people sitting around in a boardroom being like, well, we can't just do an interview. We have to introduce some sort of high concept to it, which maybe it's gone a little too far.
I didn't realize, too, the genius... of hot ones until after doing it, which is that, like, on its surface, it can appear that, like, oh, this is some gimmick, like eat hot wings, right? But the thing that happens is that when you...
have something like hot sauce it disrupts your your natural guard yeah so as these questions progress and you're uncomfortable you're speaking in a way that you would not normally speak and that's really the the magic you're like because like you could do with alcohol but then you have like you know it's different right you have your inhibitions are kind of like it's also it's like it's making you

Chapter 3: What are Sean Evans’ thoughts on Chicago sports and his White Sox Mount Rushmore?
then you're not getting the thing out of it that is there. It's like if you go, I don't care whether they win or lose, it's like, well, then you almost shouldn't just, you shouldn't watch, right? Like the whole thing about being a sports fan, I mean, obviously some people take this to an extreme and they're way too invested, but the fun of getting behind a team
is that you care enough to be miserable when they're down so that when they are great, the joy is so much greater.
That release.
You have to have the up and down. A lot of these things are... I always watch college football, and it is cyclical. The teams will be great, and you're like, these guys are great, and then they'll have this downtime, and then the team that wasn't doing so well, and it comes back. But it feels like... It usually belongs, it really does belong to like 10 to 12 teams.
The other ones really can't compete because they can't bring in the recruits to that level. In the pros, though, you're like, man, some of these windows where it's not good is like,
a lifetime it's like decades and too i always think about i mean at the end of the day that's that business is a nostalgia that business is a nostalgia and memories business yeah you know what i mean so it's just been so flat for so long that i wonder i'm like are they losing like an entire generation of sports fans there you know what i mean like i think about that sometimes where it's well if you're a
I don't know, 15, 20 years ago, you haven't experienced the highs, really. Except for a couple moments. If you're a Blackhawks fan, you've had some big time. But they don't know what the Bulls thing was like. They just heard about it. They're like, oh, that's cool. And you're like, no, you don't understand. This shit was wild.
wild like it was a given like oh they're gonna dominate you know that's how i that's how i actually thought of them when i was a kid like the first time i ever saw adults behaving bizarrely was during those um eastern conference playoff matchups between the bulls and the knicks yeah no that was the first
time that i'd see my dad you know screaming swear words at the tv you know and i'm like why is he freaking out they win all the time yeah i'm like they win all the time this i thought it was like a harlem globetrotters thing you know so i'm like why are all the adults in the room like screaming at the tv and acting like something's at stake here like they always win so even that i didn't even really other bizarre behavior to watch in an adult is when their sports team is doing well
